Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Just got the call that the pediatric kit is in, so I'm off to see the vet again. Don't really care for the idea that he's only had a couple days to digest, but it wasn't a large meal, so hopefully he'll keep it down.
Results are in for Rosy as well. 2 colonies of Acinetobacter sp were cultured, and they are sensitive to several kinds of anti-biotic treatments. So hopefully we'll get a handle on that before too long.

How long a course of antibiotics do you normally give or is this a one off injection?
Best of luck with the tests on the blood, fingers crossed over here that they find something just so you can take some kind of action.

Glad to hear the culture was successful, and gave you some answers!

I'll be giving Rosy a Fortaz injection every 72 hours x6 doses, assisted hydration during, and we'll go from there.
As for Guku's blood, well, he's a little guy, so you can only take so much. But we got enough for the blood cultures and CBC. Didn't want to mess with him beyond that because of the full belly and he also decided to go into shed yesterday, and I don't mess with them during ecdysis.

Yep, it's always nice to get a positive answer instead of a maybe/could be. Lets just hope we get the same quick and easy results with Guku.
I think I'm going to go ahead and call a few larger breeders, just to see if by chance one of them has experienced anything like it. I've talked with my vet, the Zoo vet, and 2 other vets as well. So far all I got was, Hmmmm, and, interesting. Everyone seems to be scratching their head over it. I think I'll email Dr. Mader as well.
Thanks for listening!

I know it's no consolation re Guku, but I'm very glad you have posted this - I for one, and probably many others, learn a lot from reading threads of experiences like this.

Initial Blood tests are back. CBC (blood chemistry) all numbers are in the normal range, and eerily right in the middle of that normal range, no highs or lows. So all internal organs are working properly and good hydration.
Blood cultures have managed to successfully culture, absolutely nothing. Not a single colony of anything that shouldn't be there. So, we'll get more blood when we can get him down there again, and have it sent to ZooPath. Unsure as of yet what specifically we'll be testing for, but I'm sure my vet will fill me in when I go down there.
On a positive note though, Rosy is a champ, and her swollen nose is quickly returning to normal, and she dropped me a perfect shed last night.
